title: [Tube feeding: an old technique with a new method].
abstract: The total parenteral nutrition (T.P.N.) in now largely adopted, often in no strictly cogent indications. The Authors outline the wellknown advantages of enteral nutrition. To overcome the frequent episodes of intolerance in tube feeding, they list the rules followed in preparing diets, strictly balanced from the caloric point of view, using lyophilized natural elements of wellknown composition. Their results seem to confirm the value of the technique.
